There's only a minor amount of guilt when I ask Claude code to do something amazing with regex and ripgrep as I look over my shoulder at the decade old regex book over my shoulder I never got around to mastering. This is one of the things I'm perfectly fine using natural language for.

I went to star this repo thinking... "Oh man I need this". LONG PAUSE. "God damnit, I already starred this".

What I provide my illustrator (Cinnamon Devil) for Table Slayer and what she sends back (early draft). Finally getting around to building the marketing pages.

Pretty bummed about Brandom Hyde and the Orioles. It makes sense, but man, what a dark turn for the club this year. No one saw this coming.

There is no level of community bounding higher than two random dads showing up separately to rake out a wet baseball field. No better handshake you'll get in your life.

Pushing through after something bad happens in Paradox grand strategy games is so rewarding. I play Ironman specifically so I have to just live with bad decisions. Lately been on a CK3 kick, but feel the same about all their games.

Wish the new owners of Giant Bomb well. I should have remembered my commentary during the 10 year podcast (right around 55:30). Giant Bomb somehow always finds a way to exist. I assume its future will continue to not make any reasonable sense. Good luck duders. www.giantbomb.com/shows/were-s...

Saw this summary of Svelte on Reddit today and agree with pretty much all of it.

Ramping back up on tableslayer.com development next week after a break to recharge. Full release will be soon. Fun to work on software where I get direct conversational feedback from users on a semi-regular basis. Occasionally I get a picture of a group of nerds having fun together. That's the best!

My gaming computer has been shutting down (a power off without a reset) during gaming. Updated everything, but still happens. Not a heat issue according to monitors. My next try will be hooking up a UPS because I do get occasional power spikes. If that doesn't work, new power supply?

We're starting up the next round of feature improvements for Table Slayer, adding measurements, a freehand draw layer, and some more tablet support. Yell if there's something you are interested in improving. github.com/Siege-Perilo...

Reading an AMA with a fantasy author I like. A trilogy of his I like switches main characters in each book, making the last main character a sort of reference side character. I thought it was clever. He admits he stole it from The Wire. Surprised I didn't notice. www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Bought Oblivion immediately because I love Elder Scrolls. Only slightly worried I've fallen into a new pre-order style trap purchasing a game that there's been zero press on yet.

Decided on a whim with my son to go see the Orioles today. On a positive, we didn't get sunburnt.

Set up my camper. Heard creeking behind us. Yep, that tree is totally split in half and balanced against another tree. We've arrived at our Final Destination.

Last minute prep for my Pathfinder game today. My party will likely attack the Stag Lord's camp. One bug I need to fix is making sure the markers always read "down" even when the scene is rotated (I sit at the bottom of the table so I always rotate vertically). So fun to get to use your own tools!

One thing that's interesting about Table Slayer's pricing is that almost all users have chosen the Lifetime membership (which costs $85) over the $5 monthly or $50 yearly. I know this hurts me long term, but the pricing seems the most user friendly.

Another fun illustration for Table Slayer. This one feels like it's out of an old 80s campaign.

One habit I picked up from the frontend team at @xata.io that I'm applying to Table Slayer is to have a GitHub action to make a PR to upgrade dependencies every Monday. It's great to rectify upgrades first thing before I start any other work. I like having this be manual so I'm forced to check.

Realized I had Discord setup wrong for Table Slayer. I was making an invite link that only allowed 1 user. Doh. Anyways, if you were previously looking to chat about the project, this link should work? discord.gg/BaNqz5yncd
